Saving a click. She was on the way home from the hospital and entrusted to his care... and he has a prior misdemeanor for inappropriate sexual conduct.

KUSA — The former Westminster police officer who was supposed to be driving a woman home from the hospital when he instead stopped and sexually assaulted her outside of his patrol car was sentenced to 90 days in jail followed by four years probation on Thursday.

Broomfield police said they were called to St. Anthony Hospital to do a rape kit on a 36-year-old woman on Aug. 24, 2017, alleging she had been sexually assaulted the night before.

The woman told Broomfield police she had gone to the emergency room at the same hospital the night before after “self-admitting for alcoholism,” an affidavit about the 2017 incident stated. Hospital staff called the police to report the woman had stolen something from the ER and Curtis Lee Arganbright, 41, was dispatched.

The hospital decided not to press charges and Arganbright agreed to take the woman home. It was on the way to her house that the sexual assault took place.

The woman told Broomfield officers that Arganbright pulled over to the side of the road near 144th Avenue and Zuni Street, told her to get out of the vehicle, and forced her into intercourse on the front bumper of his police car while handcuffed. According to the affidavit, the officer then forced the woman into oral sex also while outside of the police car.

The woman told officers that when Arganbright dropped her off at her home a short time later he said, “that she better not tell anyone about this.” She said he was referring to the assault.

The affidavit also states that Arganbright then gave the woman his business card and said, “call him sometime.”

Personally I think Sexual Assault seems more appropriate. Unfortunately, kids in my schools growing up would scream rape for simply being poked, and do it to each other. Sexual Assault makes the violent nature of the crime far more clear, and I have never heard anyone misuse it. I don't mean to argue, but that's my take on it. Hopefully in your region the word rape was never turned into a joke.

I encourage you all to not focus only on the gender aspect of this but how incredibly common it is for police to abuse their power. Man or woman we are all living in a dangerous time where these power tripping fuckers get to change people’s lives forever.

Google Amber Guyger if you want to see it the other way.

Visit the sub I posted for a dose of terrifying reality.

Being a woman is hard enough in this world but being a black woman (especially in the US) is an entirely different scenario.

This comment only tried to raise awareness to the broader problem of police abuse.
The fact that the rapist is a cop probably played a huge role in minimizing its sentence. What’s wrong with providing another venue to fight this injustice ?

Only 90 days? He abused his position of trust and power to rape someone in his custody, with a previous related offense already committed. This was not his first offense. Throw the goddamn book at him and lose the fucking key.

What the fuck? Our country has so much shit it needs to fix. Our political state is a joke, our healthcare system is pathetic and our criminal justice system is so absolutely broken that I'm not even surprised when I see shit like this anymore. This man should be in jail for minimum 60 years. As a law enforcement officer he abused his authority and has further tainted the uniform. He deserves as harsh, if not a harsher punishment as he 100% should know not to fucking break the law as a law ENFORCEMENT officer. Fuck it. Bring back public executions for dirtbags like this.

EDIT: Obviously not just break the law but not fucking rape people either. Didn't mean to make it sound like breaking the law is why I'm upset. Being a rapist fuck hole is why I'm upset.

I'm confused as to how 90 days can even be considered. I get letting a rapist off because the court fails to prove he did it. I even understand knocking some time off as a please bargain. But how does it get down to 90 days?
